Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

"Who...who's calling?" A young stagehand turned pale with fright, and his water glass fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling water everywhere.

"It seems...it seems to be coming from the eaves?" Another worker's voice trembled as he pointed towards the eaves, his eyes filled with fear. "Could it be something unclean! There are many ancient tombs in this back mountain; the previous ritual was useless!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but shudder. After all, the Kunning Palace was located next to an ancient tomb complex, and hearing such a shrill cry in the middle of the night would send chills down anyone's spine.

Even more eerily, the already cool wind suddenly became even colder. A gust of cold wind, carrying fallen leaves, blew in from the direction of the ancient tombs at the back door, sending chills down one's spine and raising goosebumps. The wind howled through the gaps in the eaves, making a "whooshing" sound, like someone crying or sobbing, sending shivers down one's spine.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing and turned to look towards the eaves.

Just then, a tile on the eaves suddenly made a slight "crack" sound.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

Under the moonlight, a black shadow slowly emerged from the cracks in the eaves. It wasn't large, and its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, which gleamed eerily in the moonlight.

Actually, it was a stray cat!

But this strange wildcat was completely different from ordinary wildcats. Its two eyes gleamed green in the night, like two small lanterns, staring intently at the crowd below.

Its mouth was slightly open, revealing sharp fangs, and a trace of saliva seemed to hang from the corner of its mouth. The mountain wind swirled its fur, making it look like a ghost crouching in the shadows, exuding an indescribable eeriness and terror.

"Oh my god! This cat...this cat's eyes are terrifying!" Fan Binbin cried out in fright, quickly hiding behind Liu Xiang and clutching his clothes tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "Brother Liu Xiang, I'm scared..."

Zhao Wei was also terrified, her face turning pale. She instinctively moved closer to Lin Xinru, her voice trembling slightly, "This...this cat is like a little ghost! It's so creepy!"

Lin Xinru also frowned, a hint of unease in her eyes, and she gripped the thermos tightly in her hand.

Zhou Jie and Su Youpeng exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes. Zhou Jie could only force a calm expression and shout, "Don't...don't panic! It's just a stray cat! There's nothing to be afraid of!"

But even he himself didn't believe it. The wild cat's eyes were too fierce, a deep green, as if it wanted to devour someone. Especially next to this ancient tomb complex, under the bright moonlight, it seemed particularly eerie.

Sun Shuping frowned, his face grim, and shouted to the assistant director, "Go check it out! Chase it away! Don't scare the actors!"

The assistant director was so frightened his legs went weak. He waved his hands repeatedly, his voice trembling, "Director Sun, I...I'm too scared to go! The eaves are too high, and...and this cat is terrifying! I'm afraid it will bite!"

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not move, each taking two steps back, afraid that the wild cat would suddenly pounce.

But the wild cat seemed to see through everyone's fear. It crouched on the eaves, its green eyes still fixed on the crowd below. Its mouth opened wider, and it let out another piercing cry, a cry that carried far in the silent night, sending chills down everyone's spine.

Then it suddenly arched its body, its fur standing on end, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Then, it suddenly jumped down!

"what!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd instantly took several steps back, screams rising and falling.

Fan Binbin was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes, tightly hugged Liu Xiang's arm, and dared not look.

Just as the stray cat was about to land, Liu Xiang took a deep breath and suddenly took a step forward. His agility was astonishing; his eyes sharpened, his legs slightly bent, and he was ready. As the stray cat pounced towards him, he swiftly raised his hand, flicked his wrist, and in one fluid motion, steadily caught the stray cat in his arms.

The wildcat, once he held it, immediately began to struggle violently. Its claws scratched wildly, and it hissed fiercely, trying to break free from Liu Xiang's grasp.

Liu Xiang held the cat firmly down, preventing it from hurting him. His strength was considerable, yet measured, ensuring the stray cat wouldn't be injured. He lowered his head and softly soothed the cat, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Perhaps sensing that his tiger-petting skills were back, after all, they were both felines, or perhaps intimidated by his strength, the wildcat's struggles gradually weakened. It simply continued to watch Liu Xiang warily, emitting low purrs.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and the fear on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by a look of exhilarated relief.

"My God! Liu Xiang's skills are amazing!"

"Absolutely! That movement was as fast as lightning! I didn't even see it!"

"No wonder he played Wu Song, his skills are truly exceptional! So cool!"

Sun Shupei also breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Liu Xiang a thumbs-up and smiled approvingly: "Liu Xiang, well done! You're brave and agile!"

The assistant director also realized what was happening. He quickly found a bamboo cage from the props department and walked over to Liu Xiang. He said cautiously and warily, "Liu Xiang, quickly put the cat in the cage. I'm taking it down the mountain to release it, so it won't come back and scare people again."

Liu Xiang nodded, gently stroked the stray cat's head, and then put it in the cage. Once inside, the cat immediately shrank into a corner, its bright green eyes still watching the group warily.

The assistant director picked up the bamboo cage and hurried down the mountain.

When they looked at the assistant director, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and their hearts calmed down a little!

Fan Binbin slowly opened her eyes, looking at Liu Xiang with eyes full of admiration: "Oh my god, Brother Liu Xiang, you were so cool just now! Weren't you scared?"

Liu Xiang smiled and ruffled her hair: "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a stray cat."

Zhao Wei also walked over and gave Liu Xiang a thumbs up: "Liu Xiang, your skills are amazing! It's a real shame you're not making martial arts movies! That move just now even startled me!"

Lin Xinru said with a hint of admiration, "Liu Xiang, you're really bold!"

The night was still deep, and the mountain wind was still biting, making people feel cold.
